Caratteristiche

Località

From Pontons we will take carrer dels Cups and continue along carrer Major, in the direction of the town hall; just before reaching it we will turn left until we cross the riera de Pontons. Here we will turn left, alongside the Molí de la Senyora, and continue for 700 metres until a spot where the track forms a kind of small square from which four continuations set off (one of them is the track we have come along). From here we will continue on foot along the track situated furthest to the NW. After walking about 40 metres, we will turn right and now, with no defined path, we will climb in a N direction until we find the cave, which is situated 35 metres above the track.
